This is a collation of smart quotes, final words and assorted sayings of some of the smartest people who have ever lived. It is a reference book to browse through when your spirits are low. There are no chapters, but I have divided it into four parts for reference sake. As the content belongs not to me, but to the bygone saints of their day, I will attempt to make the digital version of this book 'free to download' as soon as the major digital platforms allow. Whatever profits are made from the paperback edition will be donated to Christian charities. You can recommend a charity by posting it in a review of this work. Examples of what you will find inside - "Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself." Saint John Vianney. "The heart of the meek is the throne on which the Lord reposes." Saint John Climacus. "The nature of water is soft, and the nature of stone is hard; but if a bottle is hung above the stone, allowing the water to fall down drop by drop, it wears away the stone. So it is with the Word of God: it is soft and our heart is hard, but the man who hears the Word of God often opens his heart to the fear of God." Saint Poemen.
"You do not have to do this, I can disappear, you will never hear of me again!" The Gestapo official protested. His head rebounded against the tiled wall, a reddish black dot spectacular on his forehead. "Disappear? You got that right." I said, looking down at his corpse. Once again, I thought of the vast number of lives I had saved by taking a single one. It was open season on all Gestapo and SS ranks above that of Hauptsturmführer. Marcus Tychon Triarius meets Prime Minister Winston Churchill beneath the war torn streets of World War Two London. The PM demands to see the tattoo on the American's arm - an SS blood group tattoo. Triarius is about to embark on a suicidal mission fearful that...
Saint Faustina warned parents that praying for their children is not enough. That's why so many conscientious parents take the further step of consecrating their children to Jesus through Mary, thereby defending them from evil and paving their way to Heaven. This book walks you through the simple process of doing just that. Its informed pages give you detailed instructions to help you lead your family (ages seven and up) through each of the 33 mini-retreat days recommended by Saint Louis de Montfort, the beloved eighteenth-century priest and confessor who tirelessly preached that Jesus is not known well enough because Mary is not known well enough. Adapted for the often less-than-ideal prayer circumstances of families — particularly those with young children — these 33 brief, stress-free daily spiritual exercises and family activities bring adults and children greater knowledge of Jesus through Mary, and a more fervent love of both. Don't delay. There's no book more immediately beneficial than this and no time better than now to seize the day and help all the members of your family — young and old — to consecrate their lives to Jesus through Mary.
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
